Abstract	:	Historically, religion and religious institutions played an essential role in their lives, including decisions about health care methods. Although research has shown an increase in the use of CAM methods in the U.S., ethnic and minority populations, specifically African Americans, are not fully represented in these findings. This study sought to examine the influence of religiosity on the use of selected complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods among African American men and women, and to provide a more representative illustration of health care beliefs among this population. The results of this study indicated that higher organized religious activity scores was the most influential in the use of CAM methods. Results indicate that efforts to address the experience of African Americans with regard to religious beliefs and healthcare may be useful for future research.
